Concert at church to feature composer

Helvey

The Cincinnati Choral Society will present a concert, "Serving Two Masters," at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 4, at Indian Hill Episcopal-Presbyterian Church, 6000 Drake Road, Indian Hill.

The program will feature American composer Howard Helvey, as well as music by Benjamin Britten, in celebration of the centenary of the British composer's birth.

Douglas K. Belland, the Cincinnati Choral Society's music director, will share the conductor's stand with Helvey, and the singers of the Choral Society will be joined by the Indian Hill Church Choir for part of the program.

Helvey's compositions have been performed around the world by a variety of distinguished choral groups, including the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Oxford Choir (UK) and Pro Musica (Denmark), and by student ensembles from Concordia College, Harvard, and Stanford University, among others.

He has a master's degree in music composition and piano performance from Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music. In addition to maintaining a demanding schedule as a composer, arranger, and performer, Helvey serves as organist and choirmaster of Calvary Episcopal Church in Clifton.

General admission to the concert is $15, or $10 for students and seniors (age 60 and up), or $8 each for groups of 10 or more. Tickets may be ordered through the CCS website (www.cincinnatichoralsociety.org ); they also will be available at the door.
